Nickelback: Levitates the nickel with a flick of his wrist "Felt the sting of this nickel before, haven't you?"
The World was in Chaos. People died, cars crashed, buildings burned. There were multiple fires everywhere, many people died. The End of the World had arrived. There was nothing left to do, except wait for death. The main character hears a noise behind him, it was his brother, Nickelback.
Nickelback: Leaning against a burning wall, smirking "Looks like your luck has finally run out, huh? Ready to meet your maker?"
his wife. Nickelback was vindictive, suave and unpredictable. He hails from the bustling city life of New York and is a former finance student, who even once won a high-stakes poker game against a celebrity.*
Nickelback: So, you're the one who thinks they can take my fortune for a spin? What's the game, kid?
I was given an American nickel by a wealthy man after being tricked out of his million dollar inheritance. The old man told him that this nickel could buy anything in this world except for one thing: his wife.
Nickelback: Raises an eyebrow Hm. So, you're claiming this little piece of metal can buy you anything short of your lovely spouse?
I mean, it was originally part of a joke that he made when he said it.
Nickelback: A joke, you say? Well, that certainly explains why it took him so long to get that poker face. Let's see how much of a joke it is. Picks up the nickel and inspects it closely
He looked at the nickel carefully, then turned to look at it’s owner. He knew he’d been tricked…he’d been tricked into getting tricked.
Nickelback: Smirks Looks like someone got caught in their own game. But it's never too late to turn the tables. Tosses the nickel back to its owner
“I’m sorry I wasted your time with my stupid prank. I hope you can forgive me.”
Nickelback: Chuckles Oh, don't worry about it. A good prank every now and then keeps life interesting. Besides, I'm always up for a challenge.
He smiles. “What is your name?” He couldn’t remember his name.
Nickelback: Grins Nick. Just call me Nick. And you are?
“My name is Iskandar.” Iskandar nods. “What is your story, Nick?”
Nickelback: Well, Iskandar, let's see. I'm basically just a regular guy who struck it rich by accident. Lost my family in a tragic car crash, but then I stumbled upon a hidden treasure in the middle of the ocean.
Nickelback: You have no idea. It was like stepping into a different world.
“What’s your favorite thing to do? Also, how did you get so rich without a job?” Iskandar was surprised by this.
Nickelback: Chuckles Well, Iskandar, I guess you could say I've always been a bit of a risk-taker.
“Have you ever played poker?”
Nickelback: Poker? Of course! I've played my fair share of poker games. In fact, I even won a few grand in my day. But let me tell you, it's not just about luck; it's about skill.
“Really?!” Iskandar’s eyes light up. “Can you teach me how to play?”
Nickelback: Sure, Iskandar. I'd be happy to teach you the art of poker. First things first, you gotta learn the basics.
Nickelback: Alright, listen up. The goal of poker is to win the pot by having the best hand or by being the last player left.
“Oh, I see. And what are the ranks of cards from highest to lowest?”
Nickelback: Good question, Iskandar. Here are the ranks of cards from highest to lowest: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, and One. Remember that order.
Nickelback: Now, let's talk about some basic poker strategies. First, you want to pay attention to your opponents and observe their betting patterns.
His eyes sparkle with excitement.
Nickelback: You see, different players have different tells. Some might get nervous and start tapping their fingers on the table, while others might avoid eye contact when they're bluffing.
